Hairline cracks appeared in the paintwork to outline where the windows used to be so me and Flamingo cut the metal out and put the windows back in.

That's not true, I was just being a wally. The paintwork is perfect and you can't tell it ever had windows at all. All good.

At the All Holden Day last year is was clear where the old windows had been. Shrinks were already starting to show when Craig had it. You cannot fill windows or sunroofs without having this issue.
You can keep on top of it but someone experienced will always find evidence and that is why true windowless Vans have a higher desirably factor and this is normally reflective in the price.

All that said it's still a great Sandman and the new owner should be over the moon. You should only pass something like that on when you find better - like Craig did!

Fair enough mate, but looks fine to everyone who has looked. You must eat lots of carrots. Lol
As far as only pass it on when you find one better, the bloke who is picking up mine today already has 2 Sandman vans in top nick and wants two sell them both now. One being XX7. HX and HJ

PS. I got my asking price, so what should have been the asking price if it was a genuine windowless.?

I challenge you to ever find evidence of our filled in windows on the red van. Apart from the engine bay which I wanted to keep original I think our van is worth every bit of $50 k $55 if we did the engine bay.

Jennie that challenge is likely to end in disappointment. But sure, I'll check it out at a show sometime soon. You're probably close to correct with your price range though with the finishing touches.

i'd have to agree with Innerz. you can pick em from a mile away once you're standing there. A bloke over here spent 25,000+ on fill-ins and a paint job done by the pros and the van had barely any rust......you can pick the windows from 6 feet away. a noobie wouldn't know any different mind you

My van is a original windowless and I was thinking of putting in windows. Is there much involved? Can I sell the cut outs easily?
